First, a simple and highly emissive fluorescent chalcone ( E)-3-(pyren-2-yl)-1-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (PTP) was synthesized via simple shaking along with an excellent quantum yield of 0.85, and proved as a stable, highly sensitive, and selective biosensor for creatinine. Owing to its unique photophysical interaction with creatinine through Michael adduct formation, PTP was utilized as a Chemodosimeter for the selective recognition of creatinine in blood serum. Under optimized conditions, a broad range of creatinine detection was achieved  from 0.00000113 mg/dL to 15.8 mg/dL along with an excellent limit of detection of 0.00000065 mg/dL (0.058 nM). This biosensor is highly reproducible even for different concentration levels of creatinine. It is the very first creatinine biosensor possessing a wider linear range for clinical applications for creatinine. To ensure its clinical application, blood serum samples of people of different age groups were collected from Alpha Hospital and analyzed for creatinine by using our chemodosimeter method and compared with data obtained using a commercial method in the Alpha hospital. Our data show very good agreement with clinical data. Because clinical protocol involves trienzymes and tedious sample preparation, no doubt, our chemodosimeter will be a cheap and sensitive option compared to the existing clinical methods.
